Kingsfold (Violin Duet – Woods) – mp3

Kingsfold – Alexander and Aubrey Woods, arrangers

With this arrangement we wanted to attempt to capture a feeling of timelessness, of eternity.  The constant drone in one of the violin parts during the first verse hearkens to a bagpipe, an instrument familiar to the region of this tune’s origin.  By the constant sound of the bagpipe drone, and this beautiful melody, we aspire to represent our existence before coming to the earth, and the absence of time in heaven.  The second and third verses represent our striving and experience gained through our earthly state.  We hope you notice in the fourth verse that the bagpipe drone returns, and the familiar melody is stretched and pulled in places we may not expect, alluding to the subjectivity of time, or the eternal nature of our existence.
